The Truth

A word of honesty

By Joe PattersonPublished 9 months ago Updated 9 months ago 1 min read

The truth. Liars always never wanna hear it.

When truth comes out liars are always gonna fear it.

Lies love to shape up when truth gets bigger.

When lies get exposed their supporters feel triggered.

Lies only lead to chaos and instability.

Own up to the truth and start taking responsibility.

You don’t like the truth because it makes the world scarier.

A big mix of black and white. Call it a grey area.

Cancel out the fraudulent and start being real with it.

Like it or not the truth will prevail so deal with it.

Can’t live a life of lies thinking everything is fine.

Unable to face truth? That’s your problem, not mine.

- Dedicated to Karmelo.
